Hello Everyone,
On the 4th of December I flew from Sydney to Canberra and back as a day trip. The main reason for this flight is to fly on the E-170 for one last time and to try out the new ATR-72-500. Introduction When heard Virgin was going to phase out the E-170 I knew I had to fly it one last time. Once I saw the $89 fares on happy hour I booked the flight. The flight going to Canberra was an ATR-72-500 and coming back was an E-170. Departure December 4,2011 Virgin Australia DJ632 VH-FVL ATR-72-500 Seat 12C Arrived at Sydney Airport about 45 minutes before boarding so that gave me sometime to take some picutres at the T2. ![]() VH-VOV close up at T2 ![]() First time I see Virgin Australia E-190 VH-ZPR ![]() The smallest in the Virgin Australia fleet meets the biggest ![]() Captain of the A330 doing final checks ![]() I finally boarded the ATR-72 VH-FVL at 7:55.
